Smartphone Hackability, or, A Pocket Computer That Isn’t

Tak, a je to venku! Ještě před pár měsíci jsem s videem neuměl nic. Teď jsem, po týdnech práce, dokázal dokončit tohle 💪
Účelem bylo vysvětlit, o čem klub je, a jak vypadá vevnitř, aby jeho hodnotu hned pochopili i lidi, co se do něj nepodívají.
Původní myšlenka byla natočit jen screencast jak chodím po Discordu, k tomu voiceover, možná k tomu přidat svou hlavu někde dole v kolečku.

@schmaker na yt-dlp je právě postavený ten sync, jenže kámen úrazu je v tom, že Google to neustále rozbíjí a člověk musí agresivně aktualizovat na nové verze yt-dlp, což v případě PeerTube by znamenalo, že bychom museli jet na vývojové verzi, což se nám úplně nechce.
Ale talk is cheap. Kdybys s tím úvodním přesunem videí chtěl pomoct, tak řekni. Buď to udělám manuálně, nebo bych zkusil vymyslet něco automatického.

The UK may be about to lose access to Wikipedia as they've lost their High Court Challenge to OSA.
You can download Wikipedia by installing the @kiwix app kiwix.org/en/applications/
Then use library.kiwix.org/ to find Wikipedia, or any other interesting book. It will download a file (Wikipedia is 110gb) that you can then open in the Kiwix browser

So I made a thing.
The vast majority of the time was spent in navigating guidelines around packaging and screenshots (and I probably still have bits of that wrong), and being less familiar with Codeberg than GH.
Fedinspect is expected to be more interesting for developers poking around at nodeinfo and federation and stuff, rather than generally. I learned a few fun fedi-related things while testing it anyway, though.

I'm excited to announce that #Convo, my #XMPP messaging app for #KaiOS has received a grant from @nlnet, or, more specifically, @NGIZero! 🎉 🤸
I can now turn what began as a quick project made in a providential three weeks of free time into an app that can...actually do basic things like add contacts 😅
More importantly, it'll make the open and standardised messaging protocol available to a mobile platform where few large players have dared to tread 👟

4 out of 4 weekend HackerOne reports on #curl were closed as not applicable
They're all disclosed
i want to report a critical vulnerability: curl executes arbitrary code with LD_PRELOAD=evil.so

The thing is, whenever @linuxfoundation takes up a position like this, people need a gentile reminder of whose interests the foundation represents:
linuxfoundation.org/about/memb…
Linux Foundation members help support the development of shared technology resources while accelerating their own innovation through open source.www.linuxfoundation.org
So, what you’re saying is that we should not have laws that protect normal people from having their data farmed in ways that would make even the stasi blush?
It’s funny in a very sad way that something called the Linux foundation is having this extremely corporate boot licking message, considering that a good share of Linux desktop users are that to get away from the corporate spying.
How many times can you report that file:// URLs to #curl can read files?

"Asked to generate intervention plans for struggling students, AI teacher assistants recommended more punitive measures for hypothetical students with Black-coded names and more supportive approaches for students the platforms perceived as white, a new study shows."
We know that educators are bombarded with (VC-funded) hype about AI tools as magical solutions. Please don't take these claims at face value and do your own due diligence. 1/4

This is the most incredible headstone I have ever seen. Sad to have not known him with this kind of memorial!
Note the border inscription.
First steps in the BSD world!
1) OpenBSD on VPS (Amsterdam)
2) FreeBSD on Raspberry Pi 4 (home)
I'm running a Wireguard connection between the two.
Next step is setting up relayd on the VPS to point at services on the Raspberry Pi server.
yes, so with the simple method of getting your VPS provider to assign additional static IPs to your VPS and Proxy ARP, you can "teleport" the static IP to your home over the WireGuard tunnel. The IP is not actually assigned to any interfaces on the VPS and you get to avoid NAT, needing X-Forwarded-For, etc. All your server logs will have the real public IPs 🤠
Plus you can leverage the VPS provider's DDoS protection 😎 (you also gain that with NAT or reverse proxying, but it's another good reason to not use your home ISP's public IP directly)
Another advantage of either design is that you could have multiple internet connections at home for redundancy. The WireGuard tunnel is perfect for this. I do this with a hotspot that has unlimited data. I'll be moving next week and changing ISPs but none of my network configuration for my servers needs to change. I'll keep the same IPs because they're ~in the cloud~ 🙃

Fortunately they are and always have been terrible at PR so it's easy to tell what their actual members want.

in reply to daniel:// stenberg:// • • •Linux Foundation is extremely corporate. It's a 501(c)6 trade association, not any kind of charity. It is extremely financially motivated. LF can sometimes be useful to free and open source software, but one must never rely on them to advance principles over their large corporate member interests.
(I'm speaking here as someone who co-founded what became a LF Collaborative Project, so I have some experience with them.)

There are lots of municipalities that instinctively are precautious because of GDPR rules about data that has nothing to do with personal data protection. Just because people now think that data should be secret. Open data is what fuel lots things like open street map and what not.
